Get Ready for a ‘Toy Meets Tech’ Summer
The toys are officially back in town, and this time, they are facing their greatest challenge yet: modern technology. With Disney and Pixar’s highly anticipated Toy Story 5 set to hit theaters on June 19, 2026, Disney is pulling out all the stops to prepare fans for a rootin’ tootin’ summer. A massive new wave of movie-inspired merchandise has officially dropped online at the Disney Store, and select pieces are already popping up inside Walt Disney World Resort at the Creations Shop in EPCOT.
This merchandise launch gives us a fantastic first look at the film’s aesthetic and introduces us to some of the key players in the upcoming cinematic adventure. If you are preparing for a summer trip to the parks or simply looking to bring some of that Pixar magic home, these items are designed to make a big splash.
The Lilypad Canvas Tote: Introducing the New Villain
One of the most intriguing additions to the Toy Story lineup is the Lilypad Canvas Tote Bag ($29.99). For those who have not been following the trailers, Lilypad is a brand-new tablet device voiced by Greta Lee who acts as the primary tech-based antagonist in the new film. Lilypad challenges the classic toys’ roles in Bonnie’s life, and this clever canvas bag captures that theme perfectly. The tote is designed to look like the green tablet character, featuring a transparent front ‘screen’ that acts as a slip pocket so you can showcase your own items. It also features simulated leather feet appliqués, a magnetic snap closure, and an interior zip pocket. It is the ultimate accessory for a stylish, modern day at EPCOT.
Classic Western Style with Jessie and Bullseye
If you prefer classic ragdoll charm over high-tech screens, Jessie is the undisputed star of this collection. Since Woody passed down his badge, Jessie is stepping up as the new sheriff, and the design details reflect her new leadership role:
- The Jessie Ear Headband ($39.99): This is easily one of the most detailed ear headbands we have seen in quite some time. It features a denim-covered band with ‘Sheriff Jessie’ embroidered on the side, ears styled after her classic cowgirl shirt, a gleaming gold sheriff star badge, and a cow-print bow accented by her signature red hat.
- The Jessie and Bullseye 30 oz. Travel Tumbler ($49.99): Perfect for those hot summer park days, this stainless steel tumbler will keep your drinks ice-cold. It features beautiful bandanna-inspired western screen art of Jessie and Bullseye, the phrase ‘Hold Your Horses,’ a comfortable brown grip handle, and a dual-function lid that supports both a straw and a sipper.
Interactive Fun for the Kiddos
Younger space rangers and cowboys can also get in on the action with brand-new toys designed by Mattel:
- The Bullseye Lil’ Partner Action Figure ($34.99): Standing at about 7.5 inches tall, this interactive plastic figure brings Woody’s loyal horse to life. Bullseye can buck, wiggle his legs, blink, stick out his tongue, and make realistic sound effects.
- The Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Laser Gauntlet ($32.99): Let your little ones defend the galaxy with this movie-realistic arm gauntlet. It features a simple button to trigger laser blasts, interactive vibrations, and over 35 distinct sounds and phrases.
Whether you choose to shop online or hunt down these items on your next EPCOT park day, this collection is the perfect way to build excitement before the movie debuts. We expect these pieces to fly off the shelves as the theatrical release approaches, so act fast if you want to secure your favorites!
